Monthly cost is determined by your age on the coverage effective date, and will increase on the next policy anniversary date after you enter the next age band. Benefit effective dates are subject to change. The union does not make any endorsement or recommendations regarding these benefits.

This program is voluntary and it is solely the Members’ decision to enroll. Members are responsible for paying their own costs. All non-banking administrative and transaction fees are included in the enclosed costs. This is a basic summary of benefits and makes no guarantee or warranty on the processing of claims. Other limitations may apply. It is recommended that each enrolled Member obtain a copy and read the entire policy booklet. You may request a copy of the policy booklet by email to admin@unionone.com. Coverages are underwritten by MetLife. Like most insurance polices, insurance polices offered by MetLife and it’s affiliates contain certain exclusions, exceptions, waiting periods, reductions, limitations, and terms for keeping them in force. AD&D insurance does not include payment for certain losses as described in more detail in your certificate. Please contact MetLife or your plan administrator for complete details.

IMPORTANT: If you leave the union or retire, it is your responsibility to contact our office immediately at (847) 387-3555. Failure to do so within 90 days will forfeit your ability to keep coverage and receive any refunds.
